History in Photos
1980
Robert Anderson, CEO of Rockwell International, prime contractor for the Space Shuttle visited Mort Künstler in his studio in Oyster Bay, New York in 1980. Rockwell had commissioned Künstler to document the building, testing, first launch and touchdown of the first space shuttle. Künstler did more than forty paintings, drawings and sketches that are now in the collection of the Museum of Science and Technology in Los Angeles. Mr. Anderson visited the artist's studio when he wished to see the progress of the first painting in the series, appropriately titled “First Rollout,” showing the Enterprise being pushed out of the hangar for the first time.
Whatever labels are assigned to Mort Künstler and his art, it is certain that his paintings will continue to be recognized for their strong and effective compositions, for the accuracy of their historical documentation, and for the dramatic way they record the American Spirit.
